Refrigerator control panel not working
If your refrigerator control panel not working leaves you with unresponsive buttons or a blank display, start by checking the user control and display board since faulty buttons or a dead display are most often caused by that module. Next consider the dispenser control board if the ice or water functions fail as a whole, but test individual dispenser parts first before replacing the board. A separate display board can fail the same way as the user control and will need power checked and replacement if it has power but no function. Inspect the wire harness and connectors for loose or damaged wires, and on models with controls built into the dispenser front panel the entire assembly may be the faulty part. Finally, rule out incoming power issues by confirming the cord is fully seated, the outlet is live, and breakers or fuses are intact. If you need replacement parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact refrigerator control board, display board, dispenser front panel, or wire harness that fits your fridge.
01 - Refrigerator User Control and Display Board
To determine if the user control and display board is defective, try pressing the buttons on the control panel. If some of the buttons work, but others do not work, the user control and display board might need to be replaced. Additionally, if the display is not working, check the power to the user control and display board. If the user control and display board has power, but it isn’t working, replace it.

02 - Refrigerator Dispenser Control Board
The dispenser control board governs most of the functions of the dispenser system. If only one dispenser part is not working, it is probable that an individual part has failed. In this case, test each of the dispenser components before testing the control board. If the entire dispenser system is not working, the control board is more likely to be at fault.

03 - Refrigerator Display Board
To determine if the display board is defective, try pressing the buttons on the control panel. If some of the buttons work, but others do not work, the display board might need to be replaced. Additionally, if the display board is not working, check for power to the display board. If the display board has power, but it isn’t working, replace it.

04 - Disconnected or Damaged Wire Harness
The wires from the control panel to the control board may be loose or have become disconnected. Make sure the wire harness connectors are tight. A damaged wire harness will need to be replaced.

05 - Refrigerator Dispenser Front Panel
On some refrigerator models the user controls are part of the ice and water dispensers front panel. If none of the control panel buttons are working, it's probable the main control board is malfunctioning. However, if some of the buttons on the control panel are still functioning, it's more likely the unit's user control and display is faulty. If this component is sold as part of the dispenser front panel, the entire assembly can be replaced.
Highly Likely
06 - Incoming Power Problem
Ensure power cord is fully inserted into a regular electrical outlet and the outlet is supplying power. Check fuses or circuit breaker if needed. It is best to keep the refrigerator on it's own dedicated circuit and not to use a ground fault receptacle which can interrupt power to large appliances.
Highly Likely
